This shouldn’t be two tweets. But Trump equals viewers equals revenue, and so long as your press is funded by ads, it’ll continue to use cowardly language like “this claim is false” in a supplementary tweet. https://t.co/uthcIt2oqe — PolitiTweet.org

Among the reasons I keep using Google Photos: it recognised this as food. https://t.co/deQQzOSQYw — PolitiTweet.org

Truly one of those "only on Twitter" moments, and also the briefest and most powerful indictment of American inhumanity. — PolitiTweet.org

@journeydan @hayatohuseman @DavidLamma I hadn't heard Summer Romance until just now, but that guitar opening is hella promising. — PolitiTweet.org

How, if at all, do you organise your music? — PolitiTweet.org

@DavidLamma @hayatohuseman This statement must be verified by both of you specifying which song(s) you consider Incubus' best. — PolitiTweet.org

@robertshrimsley Details, Robert, trifling details. Next thing you're going to tell me is that her strategy for keeping clear and beautiful skin is being rich and able to pay her way out of stressful life situations. — PolitiTweet.org

@ajmcgr @saschasegan @caro_milanesi @HuaweiMobile @FedEx I’m pretty sure Sascha would be okay with an excuse to go to Tokyo. Sascha, I’ve sent phones to America before without needing to specify model name. Might that be a new requirement? It’d be amazing if the US brought in new customs regulation just to prevent Huawei gear. — PolitiTweet.org

I don’t even live in the US, and I’ll have paid more in US taxes than Amazon just by having a meal at the airport. But that’s just tax efficiency at home, Amazon is a fucking superstar at dodging taxes in Europe. — PolitiTweet.org

Google: we know you like ads in your Google products, so we put ads about Google products in your Google apps. https://t.co/LWXnIBFlAj — PolitiTweet.org

As a professional sitter, my tip to chair designers: design your chair on the floor. I realised, admiring the beautifully undulating underside of my chair while cleaning it yesterday, that these things are prototyped at eye level and so designers waste time making pretty bottoms — PolitiTweet.org

I still think this, from IFA 2014, was a brilliant little accessory for the Xperia Z3, but Sony never put the software and games together to make it a success. https://t.co/mm81n5Lqcl — PolitiTweet.org

.@rickygervais When you were creating the David Brent character, did you, in your wildest nightmares, imagine he'd end up president of the United States of America? https://t.co/osIBGzaEmm — PolitiTweet.org

I don’t know who runs this @Behind2020 account, but it’s full of little gems of behind-the-scenes stuff on 2020 presidential candidates. https://t.co/n1cPAtRIWX — PolitiTweet.org

1: They’re looking forward in the same direction, tired but determined. 2. She’s looking at him, with mixed feelings. 3: He’s looking in her direction, but nobody’s risking eye contact. 4. Strangers sharing a table. — PolitiTweet.org

@smakelainen It seems you're skipping past my point, so I'll make it one last time. YouTube has many upsides to offset its downsides. Same with Twitter. These are informative, educational, entertaining, connecting services that make us feel more in sync with the world. FB lacks that. — PolitiTweet.org

Vlad Savov @vladsavov

@smakelainen Valid point, but that’s a separate topic of discussion. There’s a redeeming quality to those other companies’ operations, and we can debate how redeeming it is. Facebooks exploits both its users and its workers and has no beneficial effect. — PolitiTweet.org

Vlad Savov @vladsavov

Amazon exploits warehouse workers, Apple exploits factory workers, Google abuses people’s privacy, but they all have some eventual positive product. Facebook is just a fountain of shit. https://t.co/Buley17jjQ — PolitiTweet.org

Work hard enough to eliminate the “bias” from you writing and you’ll end up saying nothing worth the time to say. There’s no perspective from nowhere, and the most honest thing you can do is set out your preconceptions & experience and let the reader decide whether to trust you. — PolitiTweet.org

@chrisratcliff @papadimitriou I like you guys. — PolitiTweet.org

@papadimitriou @chrisratcliff I’m guessing you’re both interested as enthusiasts rather than for professional reasons, so: what sort of lifestyle justifies a medium format hobby camera? I’d probably buy the LUMIX S1 if I had more Serious Photography occasions. — PolitiTweet.org

@thedextriarchy @mims To Mims’ original point, I grew up in a Bulgaria whose cultural diet in post-Communist times was all American. We actually believed McDonald’s ran “restaurants” and we rooted for USA athletes like Michael Johnson. It’s that cultural influence that the internet has amplified. — PolitiTweet.org

How not to write a sincere apology, by @KyleKashuv: "Here is my apology", then four paragraphs without the words "I'm sorry." "Former classmates and I", it was "years ago", "not indicative of who I am", "I'm a better person than that", and I've changed "in the [2] years since." https://t.co/BZVZnEkknh — PolitiTweet.org

@mims @lmirani @TimFernholz Before you do, visit Tokyo (for the everything), Taipei (for the exceptionally modern metro), Copenhagen (for the bikes), Athens (for the Acropolis, street food, and two-millennia-old statues), and Gothenburg (for the ferry, sauna, and progressive locals). — PolitiTweet.org

Fun with high-resolution cameras: zooming in close enough to read the serial number of the Sony lens. https://t.co/f4sJNUK0vp — PolitiTweet.org

My favourite humans are the ones who are humble after success, and my least favourite ones are those who only act humble before success. (Me? I have no humility at all, but at least I’m consistent) — PolitiTweet.org

Five bickering men talking over their female debate moderator is definitely a representative spectacle of the UK Conservative party. @maitlis literally asking "can you hear me?" 🤦‍♂️#BBCOurNextPM — PolitiTweet.org
